Dream Day Events

If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner—do it, and hire Dream Day Events! My daughter and I recently worked with Ally and Rachael to help plan and execute our daughter’s wedding, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional service, care, and professionalism they provided. From the very first conversation, I knew they were exactly who we needed to bring our daughter’s vision to life—beautifully and within budget.

I interviewed a few different wedding planners and felt confident that any of them could have done a great job—but there was just something special about Ally and Rachael. We instantly clicked. They were incredibly professional, yet so warm and approachable—you immediately felt like you were talking to a friend. After nearly a year of planning together, I can honestly say we didn’t just have amazing planners—we’ve made a friend.

Planning a wedding from out of town comes with its challenges, especially when many guests are also traveling long distances. We really wanted to enjoy the entire weekend with our family and friends, not be bogged down with last-minute details, timeline coordination, or unexpected issues. That’s where Dream Day Events was a game-changer.

Ally was the main planner for our daughter’s wedding, but both she and Rachael were involved throughout the entire process—always available, always responsive. On the wedding day, both of them were there for over 12 hours, making sure every detail was flawlessly executed. Knowing we were in such capable hands allowed us to be fully present for one of the most meaningful days of our lives.

Leading up to the big day, they handled contracts and vendor communication, created and shared a clear timeline, and made sure everyone was on the same page. On the day itself, they were everywhere—handling everything, solving problems before they even reached us, and keeping everything on schedule.

Some of the standout touches that truly set them apart:

They packed up all of our décor after the reception and loaded it into our car. They returned the keys to our hotel for us.

They made sure the gift table and card box were secure and brought to the hotel for the bride and groom.

They even checked the bride and groom into their hotel room and set up the suite for their wedding night.

These thoughtful, personal touches reflect how deeply Ally and Rachael care—and how much pride they take in their work.

I can now say from experience that hiring a wedding planner ensures your day goes off seamlessly. A wedding is a significant investment—and a day you will remember forever—so you want it to be as perfect as it can possibly be. I highly recommend budgeting for a planner. Honestly, it wasn’t something I initially considered, but I’m so glad my husband encouraged us to go for it. It was, without question, one of the best decisions we made.

Ally and Rachael didn’t just plan a wedding—they created a beautiful, stress-free, joy-filled experience for our entire family. We are beyond grateful and enthusiastically recommend Dream Day Events to anyone looking to make their dream day a reality.

Forever thankful!
Louise and Steve

I cant say enough about how spectacular the team was, Rachel and the gang exceeded our expectations in so many ways.

I'll be honest: I was cocky going into wedding planning. Our venue offered some complementary planning services, and I figured we had it covered. I couldn't have been more wrong.

What I didn't realize is just how many decisions go into a wedding that you'd never think to consider. Rachael and Ally knew all the ins and outs, and more importantly, they knew what questions to ask us. They helped us focus on what would actually matter to us, like putting real thought into our signage, while steering us away from unnecessary add-ons (no, we did not need a dance floor oyster shucker).

Their vendor knowledge alone was worth it. There's so much noise online that it's nearly impossible to know who's actually good versus who just has great marketing. They cut through all of that and connected us with vendors they trusted, and they were right every time.

Case in point: a few weeks before the wedding, our DJ had to cancel. Before we even knew there was a problem, Rachael and Ally had already talked to the management company, lined up a replacement, and scheduled a meeting so we could give our approval. The new DJ ended up being phenomenal. That's who they are: solving problems before you even know they exist.

My wife is Type A and naturally took the reins on a lot of the planning, but Rachael and Ally gave us both the space to actually enjoy the process. They kept us focused on the decisions that mattered right now instead of drowning us in everything at once.

On the wedding day, the moment they arrived, I felt a wave of stress just lift. I was still nervous (it's my wedding), but knowing they were in control made all the difference. They were such a calming presence throughout the entire day.

If you're a groom reading this thinking you don't need a planner, I was you. Trust me, hire Dream Day Events.

If I could give our wedding planners 15 stars I would—because they truly turned our big day into a real-life Love Story.

From the very beginning, they understood the vision before I could even put it into words. I came in feeling a little Delicate, a little Out of the Woods, and very much hoping everything wouldn’t fall apart “like a house of cards,” but they showed up with the confidence and care of people who have clearly know this industry All Too Well.

They handled every detail with Style. They protected my peace like a personal Peace brigade, solved problems before I knew they existed, and made the entire planning process feel Fearless.

On the wedding day, they operated with the calm of someone who's seen This Love story a thousand times, and the joy of those who genuinely love making magic for other people. From timeline to décor to last-minute chaos, they turned what could have been a Mad Woman moment into a total Enchanted experience.

My guests couldn’t stop raving; everything was seamless, thoughtful, and sooo “meet me at midnight” dreamy. I walked away from the night thinking one thing: This Is Why We CAN Have Nice Things.

Hiring them was the best decision we made—no Question…? We’d do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for planners who will treat your wedding like their own era-defining masterpiece, these are your people. Because when it comes to pulling off a once-in-a-lifetime day, they’re the real Masterminds.

Rachael and Ally were amazing right from the get go. We contracted them for a virtual planning package and their efforts were worth every dime. The price paid was very reasonable. From their brainstorming, coordinating with vendors, and the creative signage they provided for my husband's party I was given the peace of mind to sit back and truly enjoy the event.

Rachael and Ally really leaned in to the Jersey Shore theme with food ideas, flowers, and favors. They also came up with a fun signature drink. The vendors they suggested (and coordinated with) were amazing and really delivered.

The true test of a great party are comments from the guests. Everyone loved the themed touches like the signature drink, flowers, salt water taffy at the bar and their own small buckets of Johnson's popcorn to take him with them at the end of the evening.

Almost as important to me was the amazing communication from Rachael and Ally. They were both right on top of everything and I never worried that anything would slip through the cracks. I can't wait to use their services again for my next event!

Rachel and Allison were amazing throughout the entire process. Getting back to all my emails and questions right away. Staying in contact with all my vendors. Reminding me of things I would have otherwise forgot. The day of the wedding they did so much from last minute decorations, to fixing my bustle that kept breaking, they were all around amazing. I highly recommend!

Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without Rachael and her amazing assistant, Ally. They were truly instrumental in making sure everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Rachael is incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure — exactly what you need on your wedding day. She anticipated needs we didn’t even know we had, handled all the moving parts behind the scenes, and made sure we could actually relax and enjoy the day.

Ally was equally wonderful — supportive, attentive, and on top of every little detail. Together, they made sure everything went off without a hitch. From managing vendors to keeping us on schedule to solving small issues before we even noticed them, they were absolute pros.

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us bring our vision to life. If you want your wedding day to run smoothly and stress-free, Rachael and her team are the ones to trust.

Rachael and Ally were the BESTTTTT . We couldn't have done our wedding without them. From small details to sharing recommended vendors, managing the hotel to locking down the rundown and purchases, she was able to bring comfort, confidence, and enthusiasm to the entire process & day!! We are tech people and she had an entire shared Google spreadsheet with everything we needed , making planning & communication so easy! Whenever people had questions we were able to have rachael cover it day-of, even all the thank you notes for vendors, food and coffee day of, and all the pictures she was with us. They even ordered the right tea for my Hong Kong tea ceremony, brought all the cookies and dresses up to the suite and in the greenroom, organized bathrobes, champagne and strawberry dipped chocolates the night of. Really appreciate them making our day so easy!! We had an absolute blast

We hired Rachel and Ally of Dream Day Events to help us plan and execute on a wedding. They were fabulous. They worked in advance with us and every vendor joining in on calls- from the hotel, caterer, band, florist, photographer and even to our special guests. They made recommendations for the party, helping us develop and stick to a timeline. They suggested certain entrees and then recommended glow batons for the dancing. As the date got closer and the weather looked to be cooler for the outdoor ceremony, they suggested we get warm blankets for our guests. They were with us the entire day. Their help allowed me, the mom who planned the wedding, to relax and enjoy this very special day. I would highly recommend Dream Day Events!

I loved not having to worry about anything during my big day. I’m type A and could have spent the day planning, organizing, and taking care of my family. Instead, I got to focus on spending time with friends/family and marrying the love of my life, they took care of everything!

Rachael and Ally did so much to help our wedding day be the most magical and smooth day possible. I am so incredibly glad that we hired them. They supported us with things big and small, expected and totally unexpected, staying so kind, calm, helpful, and professional the entire time.

Dream Day Events were amazing. Some examples , the groom’s suspenders broke and they went back to the Airbnb to get his second pair, a bridesmaid spilled and stained her dress, they fixed it and pined it to look beautiful (I didn’t even know except that someone snapped a picture- love that amazing!) My parents were unsure if we needed Dream Day Events, after the wedding they were thrilled, wrote a positive review and have been telling all of their friends how wonderful Dream Day Events was! Agreed! I will use them for many events in the future too!
